Scouting Report

Records: Navy 4-17, 3-6 in the Colonial Athletic Association; William and Mary 4-17, 0-9.Navy won the first meeting 80-59 at Annapolis, Md.

Analysis: One of the Tribe's best chances for a victory: at home, four days to prepare and vivid memories of last month's 21-point blowout in probably its worst game of the season. Forward Eddie Reddick (13.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg) is Navy's workhorse, and point guard Erik Harris (12.3 ppg, 109 assists) is back after missing a game with the flu. The Tribe must get productive efforts from center Scott Smith (13.0 ppg, 5.8 rpg) and forward Todd Cauthorn inside to take offensive pressure off of perimeter threats Jimmy Apple (13.4 ppg) and versatile Thomas Roberts (14.1 ppg).

Analysis: Hampton is healthy for a change, with senior guard Stacy Clark returning to the lineup against NSU after missing two games with a badly sprained ankle. Center Keith Hunter and guard Joe Artis have had their playing time increased after recuperating from nagging injuries. The Tigers are a good defensive team, giving up just 75.7 points per game, but averaging only 75.5.

FERRUM AT CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT

When: 2 p.m.

Where: Ratcliffe Gym, Newport News.

Records: Ferrum 8-13, 1-6 Dixie Conference; CNC 15-7, 5-3.

Analysis: Perimeter-oriented Ferrum has been betrayed by its 40.4 percent field-goal shooting. The Captains, who won by 20 at Ferrum, must avoid a letdown and/or fatigue from last night's showdown against Averett. The Panthers will rely on 6-2 Everett Foxx (18.4 ppg) and 5-8 Mark Terry (15.5) for scoring.

Radio/TV: None.

AVERETT AT APPRENTICE

When: 2 p.m.

Where: Apprentice School, Newport News.

Records: Apprentice 7-13; Averett College 14-7.

Analysis: In his last game, Apprentice forward Brian Darden set a career high (and season high) of 34 points against Guilford College in a 71-70 loss. The Cougars have three players in double figures, led by forward Tony Seay with 22.3 points per game.

Radio/TV: None.

VIRGINIA AT CLEMSON

When: 1:30 p.m.

Where: Littlejohn Coliseum, Clemson, S.C.

Records: Virginia 14-6, 3-5 in ACC; Clemson 17-5, 5-3.

Analysis: Virginia faltered late in the game to lose to Clemson 76-70 in Charlottesville on Jan. 9, so the Cavaliers know they can compete. Virginia's inside defense was superb in the Thursday upset of No. 4 Duke and will have to be even better against Clemson's Dale Davis (14.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg) and Elden Campbell (16.6, 8.2). They are the Tigers' only double-figure scorers. Clemson is 9-0 at home.

Radio/TV: WGH-AM, 1310; WAVY-TV, channel 10.

WESTERN KENTUCKY at OLD DOMINION

When: 7:35 p.m.

Where: Norfolk Scope.

Records: WKU 10-12, 5-3 in the Sun Belt Conference; ODU 9-10, 3-4.

Analysis: Once tied with Alabama-Birmingham for the conference lead, the Hilltoppers have lost two consecutive league games and have fallen to third. Western, which has had a week off, runs a patient three-guard offense. The Hilltoppers are shooting only 45 percent as a team but holding their opposition to 44.5. Guard Roland Shelton leads a balanced attack at 18.8 points a game. WKU is the league's worst rebounding team, getting beat by three boards a game. ODU is coming off a frustrating overtime loss Wednesday night to South Florida. Guard Darrin McDonald and forward Anthony Carver combined for 66 points in that game.

Radio/TV: WTAR-790 AM.

TULANE at VIRGINIA TECH

When: 1 p.m.

Where: Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg.

Records: Tulane 4-16, 1-7 in the Metro Conference; Tech 9-13, 1-6.

Analysis: Two teams going nowhere, but hoping to get out of the league's cellar. Tulane has two players in double figures - forward Anthony Reed (19.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 57.7 percent from the field) and guard Michael Christian (18.4 ppg). The Green Wave is shooting only 43.6 percent from the field, but that's torrid compared to Tech's 40.8 percent. Tech's only conference victory this season was against Tulane.
